Activities of an Insomniac

While I haven't been diagnosed with insomnia officially, I do have a lot of nights where I just cannot sleep, or just don't have the desire to. 

Today's another one of those days, it is technically day now, right?

So instead of sleeping, I've been trying to work on some school work.

It hasn't been going well. 

So in the meantime, I've been catching up on shows I've missed and watching the last few episodes of Kaleido Star, the anime series I've been watching lately. 

It's pretty crazy but good. It's about acrobats, the main one being Sora and her dreams to be a star of the Kaleido Stage. Some of their maneuvers are pretty insane. It makes me wonder if acrobats really do crazy things like that. I've yet to go to Cirque du Soleil or see anything that could be remotely similar. 

I've also been thinking about the various art projects I need to do. 

Sewing plushies, clothes (if I can get around to it or find room for a machine), paintings, drawing practice, sculptures of various kinds... It's a lot to think about at once. 

Strangely, when my creativity seems to finally be peeking back out, I can't seem to put together a mere 500 word essay for school. But I have til at least Monday I suppose, so I guess I could always cram a bunch of work in tomorrow/today. 

Still, I should get to sleep soon as I'll have to help my mom drive today. We'll be going from the apartment, to the house (a 3 - 4 hour drive), then load up the rest of my stuff and back to my place at school (another 2 hour drive).

I sort of live in three places right now:

One for school

One for home that my parents are trying to sell

One at the apartment where we're planning to move and where my dad lives and works

I see very little of the last one. I have nothing but boxes in my room there. Not even furniture yet.

 It's kind of an all over the place situation, and while I've been hesitant to officially change home cities, I'm kind of starting to get more used to the idea. Even a tiny bit excited, but simultaneously anxious. 

I guess it'll be nice to have both my parents in one place again too.

On a different note, I'm excited about getting my hair cut. 

It's pretty long right now, a little ways past my shoulder blades. 

I don't think I've really cut it length-wise in oh.... At least two years, probably two and a half now. 

Even thought I've had it short before, I'm planning on getting something like a pixie cut, so it's all coming off as soon as possible. 

I really can't wait. I'll admit that I am a little nervous because it's been so long since it's been short. 

The last time it was nearly that short was at the beginning of my last year of high school.

This was at Homecoming my Senior year, around September I guess.

 But still, it feels like one of the changes I need to make for myself. 

Something fresh and new. 

I've finally started to get sick enough of my long hair to want to chop it all off. 

I had already decided that it was either keep it long or cut it all off, and nothing in between, and I've reached the point where I want it gone. 

It's lovely and all, but it's so much work to wash, brush, and detangle - ohhhhhhh the detangling.... 

I finally broke down and bought some kid's hair detangler, which helped but it still tangles itself up again from just day to day activities. 

It has a pretty amazing octopus on it, and it was pretty inexpensive.

I do believe it's the same one pictured here:

Look at that face!

I'd let him do my hair any day!

It'll be kind of sad to not be able to do certain things with my hair once I cut it, but it will also be a relief. 

It might be easier to color by myself too hehe, but that may come later :3

On yet another note...

I think I write too much heh ^ - ^;
